Exam technique: Fluency
Unit 8
Exam tip : Fluency, together w ith coherence, makes up a quarter of your mark. The 
examiners w ill judge you to be 'flue nt' if you:
• speak continuously - that is, you do not leave big pauses or hesitate too often
speak at a good rate - that is, not too slowly.
Improving fluency takes time. The most im portant thing is to 
speak as much as possible.
Doing a ll the speaking activities in this book w ill certainly make you more fluent. Here are
some other ideas:
• 
Having good pronunciation improves your fluency because it allows you to speak more 
quickly w ithout making you unclear. The pronunciation of single sounds and single 
words, word and sentence stress, and connected speech are a ll crucial. Study the 
pronunciation points in this book carefully.
• 
Having a wide-ranging vocabulary allows you to be more fluent because you do not 
have to hesitate, trying to find the right word. Having good gram m ar has a s im ila r 
effect. If your gram m ar and vocabulary are good, you can focus more on your ideas.
• 
Find out if there is an English conversation class in your local area. If one exists, join it. 
Speaking English regularly, and in front of other people, w ill improve your confidence 
as w e ll as your gram m ar, vocabulary, pronunciation and, of course, your fluency.
• 
Meet up with an English-speaking friend and study this book with them. In addition
agree that fo r one hour every week you w ill speak only in English. Be s tric t with 
yourselves: do not speak even one word of your m other tongue or any other language, 
and do not consult your dictionaries. This w ill force you to express yourself in English 
even if it is som etim es difficult.
As you do daily tasks, talk to yourself in English (aloud or in your head). Think, 
How 
do you say that in English?
This w ill give you extra practice in thinking in English, and 
w ill make speaking it less of an effort. The exam iner w ill also judge how much 
e ffo rt
it 
takes you to speak in English. If you seem to be unpractised at using English to express 
yourself, you w ill not score w e ll for fluency.
Fluency is largely a m atter of 
confidence. 
A confident speaker is more fluent because they
are less self-conscious. Practising speaking English w ill make you more confident. In
addition, think about your 
body language 
and ensure you 
look
confident:
• 
Smile when you firs t meet the exam iner and when you introduce yourself.
• 
Look the examiner in the eye as you speak. Do not look down.
• 
Do not sit with your arm s crossed as this w ill make you look defensive and nervous.
• 
Do not fidget.
• Ask a friend to interview you. Do they think you appear confident and relaxed? Why or 
why not?
